27. SAFEPAY SECURITY FOR ONLINE TRANSACTIONS
The computer is quickly becoming the main tool for shopping and banking.
Paying bills, transferring money, buying pretty much anything you can imagine
has never been quicker or easier.
This involves sending personal information, account and credit card data,
passwords and other types of private information over the internet, in other
words exactly the type of information flow that cyber-criminals are very
interested to tap into. Hackers are relentless in their efforts to steal this
information, so you can never be too careful about securing online
transactions.
Bitdefender Safepay™ is first of all a protected browser, a sealed environment
that is designed to keep your online banking, e-shopping and any other type
of online transaction private and secure.
For the best privacy protection, Bitdefender Password Manager has been
integrated into Bitdefender Safepay™ to secure your credentials whenever
you want to access private online locations. For more information, refer to
“Password Manager protection for your credentials” (p. 139).
Bitdefender Safepay™ offers the following features:
● It blocks access to your desktop and any attempt to take snapshots of
your screen.
● It protects your secret passwords while browsing online with Password
Manager.
● It comes with a virtual keyboard which, when used, makes it impossible
for hackers to read your keystrokes.
● It is completely independent from your other browsers.
● It comes with built-in hotspot protection to be used when your computer
is connected to unsecured Wi-fi networks.
● It supports bookmarks and allows you to navigate between your favorite
banking/shopping sites.
● It is not limited to banking and e-shopping. Any website can be opened in
Bitdefender Safepay™.
